Why "1" is One and "2" is Two ?

Numbers

The Numbers we write are made up of algorithms, (1,2,3,4,etc) called Arabic algorithms, to distinguish them from the roman algorithms (I, II, III, IV etc).   

The Arabs popularized these algorithms, but their origin goes back to the Phoenician merchants that used them to count and do their commercial countability. 
 
Have you ever asked the question why 1 is "one", 2 is "two", 3 is "three"....?
What is the logic that exist in the Arabic algorithms?
The answer is simple!..........These are angles!





And the most interesting and the intelligent of all!

Word Of The Day:

abstruse (adj.) = hard to understand from the latin abstrudere: to conceal

e.g. When we can recall events from our dreams, they seem abstruse to us.
